Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

I cancelled my vehicle insurance with them. They couldn't find any record of me calling and the vehicle ended up being cancelled due to non-payment - AFTER I called to cancel the product. I contacted them with the issue, PAID the non-payment (they told me it would be reimbursed to me when they found the missing entry in my profile) I'm still waiting for the call from TD Insurance (after 6 weeks)! I called asked for a Manager and she told me there was nothing they could do.

Incompetent.

After the easy decision to leave TD Insurance, the first quote I received for auto and household was roughly HALF of what I was paying with TD Insurance - I NEVER had an accident or a household claim after 15+ years of being with them. (15 years of terrible service and overpaying)

Do yourself a favour and look somewhere else for your Insurance.

TD Meloche Monnex simply didn't take out my June premiums (via PAD), so I call and ask why (and try to pay of course), they said it was an error in their payment processor and that I would have to mail them a certified cheque or pay with a visa. I chose the visa method because it was simply easier. My insurance was $141 a month (also the amount owing) and they ended up taking $937 (in three separate payments) off my credit card. I was furious. Called back several times and got the run around (one call was 2hrs and 32mins no joke!). They said the money would be returned to my Visa in 3 days and when it got refunded to await a call from them with instructions on how to repay (weird?). 14 days later the money appears on my Visa. 14 days. I call in to square up my policy as I'm worried about possible cancellation they say don't worry we will take it out again. The day of my PAD (July) comes and goes and they don't take it out again! I've now made about 12 calls to them and decide its time to create a paper trail. I sent them a fax detailing what has happened, who I spoke with, the dates, everything. I still get no call back! HOWEVER... they send me a $25 Tim Hortons gift card via mail with an apology. Next day I get a registered letter saying my policy has been cancelled due to non-payment... say what?

I'm freaking out. I've done nothing wrong. I call in for an explanation, they say don't worry your policy is fine and to disregard the letter. I get another registered letter saying my renewal has been cancelled as my policy was terminated. I call back and they say I haven't had insurance since July 1st and to NOT DRIVE. I miss a few days of work cause of this, my financing company politely informs me that if my car isn't insured I must surrender the plates or face repossession. I call TD Meloche Monnex back and literally say "how much money do you want right now to fix this? I've done everything you've asked me to do..." They say there is nothing they can do and my policy has been cancelled due to non-payment. What!?

I call another company for a quote so that my car doesn't get repo'd and so I can go to work and live life (even though I've done everything TD asked). The new company says that they will gladly insure me (I've never been ticketed or even pulled over in 9 years of driving), however my abstract shows a cancellation from TD due to non payment. I call TD back they say I have to just "deal with it and to call another company..." (are you kidding me?)

This incorrect black mark on my abstract makes my new premium about $282 a month (from $141 a month) I am furious. I call a lawyer for advice, she sends a letter to cease and desist the incorrect report to my abstract and advises me to contact the Financial Services Commission of Ontario's official complaint officer listing for Meloche Monnex who is listed as: Sid Nightingale (at https://www5.fsco.gov.on.ca/Licensing/ComplaintsOfficerListing/eng/lede…)

If anyone else is having the same problems I highly suggest you follow the same action I took. The next day I visited a broker to help (and face this new false reality of being a high-risk driver, even though I've never even been pulled over) and he said the black mark on my abstract was "magically" removed overnight. Someone from TD was scheduled to call me also on this day and didn't. Sid called me back 2 days later and left a message saying he sent my complaint back into the "client services" department, even though the reason why I called him was because this had escalated so far.

I have a feeling they realized the mistake and just tried to cover it up (sweep it under the rug) without admitting any fault or apologizing. I am now with a broker paying $21 less a month and my abstract says that TD reported my policy as being cancelled by me and no trace of a non-payment black mark. Sounds fishy. I'm just thankful this mess is over.

If you value your time, money, and stress levels..... STAY AWAY FROM MELOCHE MONNEX. They are a complete and utter joke of a company. I was driving without insurance for a month without any notice of cancellation (even though they helped themselves to almost 6x the money from my Visa!). I crossed the US/Canada border 3 times in this period and drove about 700km. Imagine I got into an accident? Or my car stolen? I always think about this and it scares me. Thank god and GOODBYE TD MELOCHE MONNEX! They are right when they say your best insurance is a broker.. I had a new policy the next day and they didn't even ask for any money until next month! I will be mailing the TimCard back to TD :)

These guys charge WAY too much for what they offer. Renewal time came around this year and my policy went up 50% higher than the competition. I received renewal documents and ignored them as I did not want to renew, and I had not given them my banking information. I payed for 1 year with credit card. When my renewal came up, I looked for alternatives.

Months later I receive a letter saying I now owe them $120 which is half of my new coverage, for 3 months of coverage. Calling them up to debate this ends with me learning they can just auto renew my contract without me signing a damn thing, and charge me a huge cancellation fee without any notice what so ever.

Stay the hell away from these guys.

I used them for two years and in the third year I couldn't pay the annual fee at once, I paid $1000 Canadian dollars, but they still went ahead and cancelled my insurance and state that I paid late, and they will refund my money back. But up until this date, they have not refunded me. I tried calling the customer representative always says that they are working on it this August will make it two years. I am just curious if anyone has the same experience please advise.

I have been trying to cancel an insurance policy with them for over a year. Yes, that’s right. A whole year just to try to cancel a policy (and it’s still active at the time of writing this review). I have called countless times, waited on the line for many hours and sent every piece of support that they had asked for. Yes, I’m still waiting to get confirmation of the cancellation or a whiff of my money back. The best part about this is that they are well aware (and have all of the supporting information) proving that my home and auto officially have 2 different insurers because of how difficult it has been to cancel my TD one. I am not entirely sure what their agents do but I have a strong suspicion that they do not take notes during calls and actively delete emails that they receive. I have had to repeat myself a million times and had to resend documents multiple times. I’m really glad I didn’t have to file a claim with them because Lord knows I would’ve had a better chance of winning the lottery, getting struck by lightning 3 separate times and winning a Noble prize than getting anything from them.

I have auto and home insurance with TD. My husband called recently to add his car - he was placed on hold for over 1 hour. He had to end the call only to later be put back on hold for another 1 hour. I've reached out to TD online and they've not been helpful - just trite statements about "higher than normal call volumes." I do not think they value customers at all. I see that others have had similar experiences. I had to make an auto claim 5 years ago, and they were not helpful. They did not cover the full cost of a rental car after a car accident. I ended up paying $2000 out of pocket. This, along with my recent experiences with TD, makes me think it's time to consider other companies. I have another property insured by a different company and have been very happy with them. I will look into quotes with other companies when it's renewal time with TD and move on. If you are considering TD Insurance, I suggest you look into other options instead.

The waiting time on the phone for every single call is over 50 min. Yesterday, I waited for 55 min before someone answers my phone. Today (currently I am on the phone waiting for an answer.) I have been waiting for 52 min already. The price keeps going up. I will switch out shortly.

They are the worst I have been trying to cancel my car insurance over two years. They don't communicate via email so I have have to take time of work to wait hours to try and get someone on the phone who has authorization. Then when I speak to a number of people they tell me oh they are missing this form or that signature. Seriously they should not be allowed to sell insurance or work with the public. I am so angry and feel so mistreated by this company... THE WORST !!!

After moving from Alberta to Ontario, I had a horrible experience trying to update my policy. The phone call took an hour, the rep couldn't give me an accurate quote (he gave me a quote that was $100/month above other Ontario quotes). I get that the amount can be different from company to company, but $100 difference just doesn't seem accurate.

After finding another insurance company,I decided to cancel my policy since the rep couldn't look at my quote and logically think through the problems and realise that maybe he had input some information into the system incorrectly.

When I called to cancel, I advised that I was cancelling because I couldn't get an accurate quote and the customer service was so poor. They refused to waive the cancellation fee. The company clearly does not stand behind their service.I asked to speak to a supervisor after being sent to loyalty and I was told that the customer service rep was his own manager.

I went on the website to see what the company mission and values were - "Our Promise: Exception Customer Service, Superior Value" which speak directly to the two issues I was having and the exact reasons I was cancelling but apparently those reasons, the Promise the company gives to all customers, wasn't a good enough to warrant waiving the cancellation fee (which is optional as per industry standards).

They were good at first and then I was cancelled because I missed a payment by 1 hour.... 1 HOUR!!

They just want money and apparently they have so many customers in line they dont need your money.

I could understand if I didnt pay my insurance but i did and then for them to cancel me because I was a little late? and have no way of making it up to them... garbage.... don't waste your time with these guys. the Government should step in and put a stop to this monopoly that we have to go through just to want to have insurance.

See all the NEGATIVE reviews??

That is there for a reason, go somewhere else.
